Showers

There is no Regulation requiring this.
Though as some have posted, it will be in the installation instructions for the shower.
Along with not using Re-wireable fuses, supplementary bonding and providing RCD protection.

Seriously are we on this again I thought we agreed you was wrong last time on this matter regarding manufactures instructions. Lol :banghead:

I think you'll find that you agreed with yourself, and ignored the facts.
It also appears that you are unable to read.
Perhaps you can look up and quote the particular Regulation which requires DP isolation for a shower?

The facts written by the manufactures are the facts . Spin if you don't think we should have an rcd on a shower stand up and say it, sorry I'm on the professional side of the fence I think you are stood with the plumbers on the other side

There is no reg relating to an actual shower needing Double pole isolation, however some may argue in a TT system it is so, that being said The regs are total pants at times however you interpet them, total pants hence my argument about them being the very Minimum standards.

Yes and some of the instructions still do not state that an RCD must be installed.
A fact that you overlook.
BS7671 requires that the circuit, not the shower be provided with RCD protection.
Another fact, is that by following the manufacturer's instructions, all shower and bath rooms would require supplementary bonding, all electric showers would require DP isolation and all fuse boxes would have to be replaced.

At the end of the day it all boils down to the fact that if you argue black and white that a shower needs D.P isolation and the client calls in a wet behind the ears newbie with a nice shiny new green book and clearly demonstrates that no actual reg exists. Who is the one looking the pratt......

 

[onions1066]

Where do you get a shiny green one from?

 

[rattlehead85]

Not even a very good joke at that.
It's a well known fact that colour blind people cannot distinguish between blue and brown, and between green and red.
This is why we have the harmonised colours, so that people don't get the line and earth mixed up.

I wouldn't dare to attempt to correct you Fella, however I thought we harmonised the colours to become more european haha.
